Theme vs. Main Idea

Differentiation

strategies

Special Education: For students with reading difficulty, fine motor (esp. writing) challenges, visual challenges, ADD or other difficulty focusing when overloaded with text, provide a double spaced copy of the text with an extra wide margin on the right. This will help allow them the space to take notes (and less text on the page is less distracting or intimidating). You may print copies of the modified fable below. Refer to the student’s IEP for other routinely offered accommodations

English Language Learners: Prepare copies of the text with tier 2 words bolded or underlined. Provide a visual support and student friendly definitions. Model using context clues to build vocabulary understanding. Many of Aesop’s Fables in Spanish can be found at Reading A-Z and at fábulas de Esopo .

Extension for Learning: Choose a traditional theme from a folktale and create a modern tale with a similar theme. The story could reflect a different culture and/or have a different setting. Be sure to address a particular audience (might be peers or younger students).

21st Century Skills

CRITICAL THINKING AND PROBLEM SOLVING: Make Judgments and Decisions

Effectively analyze and evaluate evidence, arguments, claims and beliefs. Analyze and evaluate major alternative points of view. Synthesize and make connections between information and arguments.

Have students create arguments debunking the folktales that explain the beginnings, endings or explanations behind natural phenomenon or events from history. Use research to locate information to support thinking. Locate helpful information using the AISD Knowledge Portal through the AISD Cloud or iBistro. Guide students in utilizing the online encyclopedias. Students can present their arguments in the form of a presentation or on a blog or wiki.

Lesson Cycle

Engage

Provide a list of key words and phrases from the Youtube video: The Lion and the Mouse – Aesop Fables video. Key words and phrases include: durmiendo, dientes filosos, león, patas, bosque, rugir fuertemente, liberarte, melena, red del cazador, diminuto ratón, ayúdame

Instruct each table group to try to figure out what the story is about based on the clues in this list. Suggest that students try to figure out words that will fit into the story elements (character(s), setting, problem, solution).

After the groups have made their predictions, show the video.

Tell students that this week they will be exploring different types of stories that belong to the genre of folktales (fairy tales, fables, legends, and myths) and will be comparing and contrasting the stories.

Lesson stages

Day 1 - Traditional Literature: Folktales SE Focus Lesson

Begin with a read aloud of a folk tale suggested in the Lesson Preparation section.

Stop at various points during the read aloud (before, during, and after) to think aloud about the kinds of thoughts you have while reading to reinforce the previous week’s Reading is Thinking lessons. Question students on the story elements they learned last week to spiral their learning.

Ask the students to volunteer any noticings and characteristics about the book, and list them on chart paper or use a digital tool such as Inspiration or Padlet (here is a link to help you incorporate Padlet in your classroom: https://padlet.com/)

Create a working definition from student responses of the Folktale on the Genre Anchor Chart used in Week One. Also, add examples or titles of this genre as the year progresses as a reference for the students. This chart can be added to as different genres are explored.

ACTIVITY 1 Review and model Turn and Talk and Good Listener expectations.

With partners or table groups, have the students explore other texts in this genre with a book flood, or with the folktales in the Treasures textbook or leveled readers (listed in the Lesson Preparation section.)

Have the students talk about and report to the whole group the characteristics of the text they see ‘often’ vs. the characteristics they see ‘all of the time’ in the folktales.

During Activity 1 the teacher actively monitors the partner’s discussions, checking for understanding, clarifying instructions and/or scaffolding instruction.

ACTIVITY 2 - Independent Reading: Using Post It Notes to Record Your Thinking Review Independent Reading Expectations from Week One, and have students read for a specific amount of time, gradually increasing the amount of time each day.

During Independent Reading today, have the students read from the folktale books gathered for this genre study and remind students about choosing a “just right book” from Week One’s lessons.

Have students use sticky notes to record their thinking about the books they are reading today, and have them focus on the setting of the story. Provide these questions to guide the students’ thinking about setting: - ¿Cuándo sucede la historia? - ¿Menciona la historia un tiempo específico?

Page 9: Lesson Components Prior Learning - curriculum.austinisd.orgcurriculum.austinisd.org/schoolnetDocs/languageArts/4th/1st_9wks/Gr4... · Austin ISD Updated July 2015 Saber el tema de

Austin ISD Updated July 2015

- ¿Puedes inferir cuándo sucede la historia basándonos en las fotos o ideas en la historia?

- ¿Dónde sucede la historia? - ¿Menciona la historia un lugar específico? - ¿Puedes inferir donde sucede la historia basándote en las fotos o ideas de la historia?

While the students are reading, begin Reading Conferences with your students. During the conference, let your students know that you will be checking to see if they are choosing books appropriately based on the “Choosing a Just Right Book” criteria. This will also give your students a chance to talk about their reading, and the strategies they are using to sustain their reading (decoding and fix-up strategies), as well as the thinking they are doing to understand the big ideas in the text.

You might want to do a quick running record or fluency check during this time or you may do an informal reading inventory such as Flynt-Cooter or AIMS Web to gather information about your students’ reading levels.

Keeping a Conference Log is a great way to document the progress of each child, and is useful for parent conferences, 504 and ARD meetings, eCSTs, etc. An example of a Conference Log is included at the end of this lesson.

Whole Group Closure

Have students share their sticky notes and what they discovered about the setting of the folktale books they chose to read during independent reading today.

Guide them into conversations that compare and contrast the setting (per TEK 3.5B.)

Day 2 - Folktales: Compare and Contrast Story Elements

SE Focus Lesson

Choose another folktale read aloud other than the genre you read on Day 1 (fairy tale, fable, or myth, from the recommended text list in the Lesson Preparation section of this lesson. You may also use a text of your own that has easy to identify story elements (characters, setting, plot, sequence.)

Refer to the “Reading is Thinking” chart you introduced last week and remind students that you stopped to listen to your reader’s voice as you read. Explain that today you will stop periodically as you read aloud to allow students to share what their reader’s voice is saying as they listen to the story. Plan stopping points at places in the story where it is natural for a reader to notice their reader’s voice (e.g. a place where you might ask a question, be surprised, or wonder what will happen next.)

ACTIVITY 1 Focus the students’ discussion towards the story elements of the text by asking guiding questions such as: Hacer preguntas es algo que hacen los buenos lectores.

- ¿Quiénes son los principales personajes en esta historia? - ¿ Qué ha pasado hasta ahorita en la historia? - ¿Me pregunto qué es lo que pasará a continuación? - ¿Cuál es el escenario de mi historia y como da forma al argumento? - ¿Qué me ha sorprendido hasta ahorita acerca de esta historia? Al ponerse en el lugar del (personaje) tu voz de lector tiene preguntas acerca de cómo se siente (el personaje).”

Have students Turn and Talk to discuss these questions, one at a time. Remind your students of your expectations during a Turn and Talk.

Austin ISD Updated July 2015

After the whole class has identified the basic story elements, have the students volunteer ‘noticings’ about this genre. Create a working definition from student responses on the Genre Anchor Chart used in Week One. Also, add examples or titles of genre as the year progresses as a reference for the students.

ACTIVITY 1

Use the following Literature Comparison Chart as students explore different types of folktales:

Título Personajes Escenario Problema Solución Tema

Using the read alouds from both yesterday and today, have the students work with a

partner to complete the chart, leaving the Theme column blank. (An explicit lesson for teaching theme will come in Day 4.)

ACTIVITY 2 – Independent Reading

Students use the above literature chart to identify the story elements for the folktale they are reading independently. After they identify the story elements, students should write about similarities and differences between their independent reading book and one of the books you read together as a class. Students discuss these similarities and differences with their partner.

Whole Group Closure Ask students to share their ideas about similarities and differences between the story they read independently and one of the stories you read together as a class.

Day 3 – Ways We Preview a Text ACTIVITY 1

Tell the students that they will now work with a partner/bilingual pair to read together a short text from Treasures, “Flycatcher and Coyote” pp. 592-593 or Tesoros, “Mosquerito y Coyote” pp. 620-621.

Review expectations for Partner Work. (See the ‘How Are We Learning? Chart, Partner Expectations in the Anchors of Support section.)

Instruct students to talk about the story elements of the text after reading. Provide guiding questions such as: - ¿ Quiénes son los Personajes? - ¿Cuál es el escenario de la historia? - ¿Cuál es el problema y solución que enfrenta el personaje principal?

During Activity 1 the teacher actively monitors the partners’ discussions, checking for understanding, clarifying instructions and/or scaffolding instruction.

Have student pairs fill in the Searching for a Theme graphic organizer (at the end of this lesson) using the short text from Treasures, “Flycatcher and Coyote” pp. 592-593 , or or Tesoros, “Mosquerito y Coyote” pp. 620-621, filling in only the title, characters, problem, solution, and summary sections. The message and theme boxes will be filled in on Day 4.

Partner/bilingual pair work can be done using different colored pencils within their writing to show proof of contribution.

Let students know that the message and the theme sections needs to be blank and will be revisited during tomorrow’s lesson on Theme.

Independent Reading Review Independent Reading Expectations, and have students read for a specific amount of time, increasing the amount from the day before.

During Independent Reading time today, have students read from the folktale books you

gathered for this week and talk briefly about the things that helped you to decide this is the book you want to read today, such as:

it was a book recommended by a friend

the topic is interesting, or

the title and/or book cover caught your attention

Develop an anchor chart about “Ways We Preview Text”. Explain that once a reader has chosen a book, they do certain things to get their ‘reader’s mind’ ready to read. For example, you might read the title and think about how the title relates to the topic of the book. Ask students to share with you the ways they preview a text. Add their ideas to the chart.

Your chart may look similar to this:

Writing to Learn Journals

Ask students to think about the ways they preview their own books during independent reading time today. Students should record their thinking in their Writing to Learn Journals.

During Independent Reading and Writing to Learn, you may continue having Reading Conferences and doing informal reading inventories and assessments (Flynt-Cooter, AIMS Web, etc.)

Whole Group Closure

Have students share their ideas from Independent Reading about previewing text. Guiding questions for discussion could be:

¿Por qué es importante para los lectores que hagan una vista previa del libro antes de leerlo?

¿Cómo nos ayuda esto en escoger el libro correcto?

Day 4 - Finding the Theme in Folktales

Remember to refer back to the Whole Group Direct Teach expectations daily.

SE Focus Lesson

Choose another type of folktale to read aloud, other than the ones you explored in Day 1 & 2 (fairy tales, fables, legends, or myths from the recommended texts in the Lesson

Preparation section.) Or you may choose one of your own books that has easy to identify story elements (characters, setting, plot, sequence).

After the basic story elements have been identified whole class, have the students volunteer their ‘noticings’ about this genre. Create a working definition from student responses on your Genre Anchor Chart. Also, add examples or titles of different types of folktales as the year progresses.

The focus for this lesson will for students to use the plot of the story to determine theme.

Tell students, “Hoy vamos a usar tres pasos que nos ayudará a indentificar exactamente el tema de la literature tradicional que estamos leyendo.

Estos pasos son: (1) Identifica al personaje principal; (2) note y describa cualquier cambio en el personaje usando el texto como evidencia para apoyar tu pensamiento( piensa en problema y solución ): (3) pregúntate a ti mismo, “¿Por qué el autor incluyó este cambio , y qué lección de vida nos está enseñando?”

Show the Theme Comprehension Animated Lesson from Connect Ed (Treasures) (located on the teacher resources page) to introduce theme using the above three questions to guide you during the video.

Display and discuss the Theme anchor chart adding any ideas from student discussion. The Theme anchor chart can be found in the Anchors of Support section of this lesson plan.

Bring students back to the Literature Comparison Chart started on Day 2 and add today’s read aloud to the chart.

Título Personaje Escenario Problema Solución Tema

Using the three steps outlined above and the Literature Comparison Chart, guide students to identify the theme of each of the read alouds, filling in the Theme box.

ACTIVITY 1

Using the ‘Searching for a Theme’ graphic organizer from Day 3 Activity 1, have student pairs fill in the last two boxes with the theme from Treasures, “Flycatcher and Coyote” pp. 592-593 , or or Tesoros, “Mosquerito y Coyote” pp. 620-621.

Partner work can be done using different colored pencils within their writing to show proof of contribution.

During Activity 1 the teacher actively monitors the partners’ discussions, checking for understanding, clarifying instructions and/or scaffolding instruction.

ACTIVITY 2 – Independent Reading & Writing to Learn Journal Review Independent Reading Expectations, and have students read for a specific amount of time, increasing the amount from the day before.

Explain to the students that during independent reading, they should also write in their Writing to Learn Journal. They may write independently in response to this question:

¿Cómo el saber partes de un cuento folklórico (elementos de la historia) nos ayuda a determiner el tema de la historia? Provide this sentence stem: “Saber los elementos de un cuento folklóricome ayuda a entender el historia mejor porque …”

If students are not practiced in writing in these journals, model a response of your own, or have the students volunteer their ideas for a class response.

Continue with Reading Conferences and Informal Reading Assessments

Whole Group Closure

Encourage a few students to share their responses from their Writing to Learn Journals.

Day 5 - Main Idea vs. Theme and Checking for Understanding

Remember to refer back to Whole Group Direct Teach expectations daily. SE Focus Lesson

Students usually have a difficult time knowing the difference between main idea and theme. Students state the main idea of a part of the text when sequencing events in a story. Today you will integrate main idea and theme in a way that will improve their understanding of both.

First, make an anchor chart together where you brainstorm a few random themes and then write the main idea of some of the books you read together as a class this week. See the Theme vs. Main Idea anchor chart in the Anchors of Support section of this lesson plan.

Reinforce the idea that themes are universal, whereas main idea statements include specific details and are usually specific to one story.

ACTIVITY 1 Remind students about the procedures of Turn and Talk and being a good listener using the guidelines addressed in the above anchor chart.

With partners or table groups, have students do a quick sort with the Main Idea and Theme cards attached at the end of this lesson.

They will sort the definitions as well as a few examples of both main idea and theme.

During Activity 1 the teacher actively monitors the partners’ discussions, checking for understanding, clarifying instructions and/or scaffolding instruction.

Independent Reading – Checking for Understanding Remind students of the expectations and procedures of Independent Reading adding time to build stamina.

While preparing for Independent Reading today, model how to check for understanding as you read.

Using a short text, model a part of the text that doesn’t make sense to you. Explain that good readers learn to check their understanding as they read. Use these think alouds as a model:

“Yo entiendo ______________, pero cuando leo _________ Yo estaba confundida/o por _____________ porque … así que regresé y volví a leer la parte del texto y pensé acerca de …”

“Cuando leí las palabras /frases/partes del texto_____________, no me hizo sentido porque ….así que vi el diagrama que lo explica y me ayudó a ver que …”

Encourage students to use the Reading is Thinking chart to provide “fix-up” strategies to get back on track.

Otras estrategias arregladas incluyen :

Releer una porción del texto

Encontrar el significado de una palabra desconocida

Estudiar las características del texto These strategies can help readers to try to gain additional information while they are reading that may help them get back on track.

Page 14: Lesson Components Prior Learning - curriculum.austinisd.orgcurriculum.austinisd.org/schoolnetDocs/languageArts/4th/1st_9wks/Gr4... · Austin ISD Updated July 2015 Saber el tema de

Austin ISD Updated July 2015

You will need to revisit this Checking for Understanding strategy often with your struggling readers. It is important for your struggling readers to be able to identity exactly where their comprehension breaks down and what causes it. The fix up strategies are easy to identify once they know when and why their understanding breaks down.

ACTIVITY 2

While they are reading today, have students practice checking for understanding and monitoring comprehension.

Have students choose one Writing to Learn question to respond to today:

¿Cómo son la Idea Principal y el Tema iguales y como son diferentes? Utiliza el libro que estás leyendo de manera independiente para que expliques tu pensamiento.

¿Qué estrategias arregladas utilizas mientras leías de manera independiente el dia de hoy?

Teacher may continue with Reading Conferences and Informal Reading Assessments during independent reading today.

Whole Class Closure

After reading, ask students to share with the class some of the fix-up strategies they noticed themselves using during Independent Reading today.

Closure

Activity

Bring your readers together to discuss how once in a while readers choose a book to read, and even after they’ve read some of it and tried to give it a fair chance, they decide they don’t want to read it. They are no longer interested in the book, and they want to stop reading it. This is called ‘abandonando el libro’.

Remind them that, if we are careful when we select books and we preview the book before reading it, we shouldn’t have to abandon a book very often.

Ask students to help you create a chart that shows good reasons why a reader might decide to abandon a book. A suggested chart is below:

Check for Understanding (Evaluation)

Formative:

Teacher observations with Turn and Talk activities

Monitoring independent reading

Keep anecdotal notes while students are working with partners and groups. Use these notes to help guide further direct support for students in needing differentiation strategies

Literature Comparison chart, including themes

Quick Sort with Main Idea vs. Theme cards

Summative:

Writing to Learn Journal Entries

Searching for a Theme graphic organizer

Razones para abandonar un libro:

Es muy fácil o muy difícil

Los personajes no son interesantes

No entiendo lo que está pasando en el historia

No me gusta el estilo de escribir de este autor

El libro es confuso

Se parece mucho al último libro que leí. Estoy lista/o para leer algo diferente.

Tema El mensaje, lección o moraleja

de la historia.

De qué trata principalmente

la historia.

Los muchachos nunca esperaron que los

iban a pescar robando la bolsa de papas,

pero la cámara de seguridad pescó el robo.

Cuando Julia se cayó de la pasa manos

y se quebró el brazo, estaba

aterrorizada de ir a la sala de urgencias.

Era un día lluvioso, y mama tenía que

ponerse creativa para mantener los niños

sin aburrirse.

Maria le gusta jugar football con los

muchachos, pero también le gusta

vestirse con ropa elegante para ir a las

fiestas.

Aunque había sido un terrible día,

Terrence llego a casa de buen humor,

esperando tener una buena noche.

Ella sabía que tenía que trabajar mucho, pero Jana siempre había querido ganar el concurso de Ortografía.

Nunca te rindas cuando algo es

importante para ti.

No importa el tipo de ropa que uses o la clase de música que escuches. Lo que más importa es quien eres por dentro.

quieras, debes de estar agradecido por lo

que tienes.

Siempre es importante poner la

No importa las circunstancias, un

ti.
